Smith Rowe struggled with injuries and poor form for Arsenal and reluctantly agreed to leave his boyhood clꦰu🐼b for the sake of his career.

Merson heaped praise on the 24-year-old for his impressiv🌄e start to life at Fulham as he tipped him to get his career back on tra🍎ck and represent England once again in the near future.

“Emile Smith Rowe has done well since joining Fulham,”�💖� Merson wrote in his column for .

“He lost his way a bit at Arsenal with all ജthe inಞjuries and lack of playing time. If he keeps playing regularly, he will prove to be a brilliant signing for Fulham.

“He’s someone who chases lost causes and has ಌgot a footballing brain. All he has to do now is stay fit and he’ll soon be back in the Engl🍃and squad.”

Smith Rowe was right to leave Arsenal

The midfielder started just three Premier League games for Arsenal las🐻t season and failed to find the back of the net, which is simply ✃not good enough for a club looking to compete on all fronts.

Arteta admitted he was sad to see Smith Rowe leave but suggestܫed it was the right move for all ওparties involved.

Alan Shearer also sung Smith Rowe’s praises earlier this season and if the 24-𒊎year-old carries on in the same vein in the coming months, he could well earn a re-call to the Three Lions’ set-up.
